GA attorneys must take all the required hours before the December 31 deadline. If the hours are incomplete on December 31, you can make them up during the grace period, which expires on March 31. This saves the $100 late CLE fee. If you miss the March 31 deadline, pay the $100 late fee which extends the deadline to June 30. After June 30 an additional $150 in fees are due for a total of $250 for late completion of your CLE requirement

The State Bar of Georgia charges a course fee of $5 per credit hour which is the responsibility of each attorney.

Description

Today, a great deal of time and emphasis are placed on CCTV footage and DNA testing. And yet, cases – both Civil and Criminal – are about real people and real witnesses. Their stories and positions are told through their testimony – and through their direct examinations. While by no means exhaustive, this CLE program will guide the practitioner in crafting, planning, and preparing powerful testimony.
